How Tag'n'Track helps manufacturers
Tag'n'Track for Manufacturing follows tools, materials and products through the plant. Tools and gauges are checked out and calibrated on time, materials and work in progress are traced between stores and lines, machines are maintained before they fail, and access to hazardous zones is controlled by shift.
Industry challenges
Missing tools
Production waits while tools and gauges are searched for.
Unplanned downtime
Machines fail between services and stop the line.
WIP blind spots
Nobody knows exactly where a batch or order is on the floor.
Traceability gaps
Tracing a defect back to materials and steps is slow.
Processes we automate
Each step from materials to finished goods, and how it is automated.
Tool and gauge control
Tools are checked out to operators, and calibration dates are enforced.
Materials and stores
Raw materials and components are received, stored and issued to lines.
Work-in-progress tracking
Batches and orders are read at each station to show progress.
Preventive maintenance
Machine services are scheduled by usage, with predictive options from the AI Module.
Finished goods dispatch
Finished goods are verified at dispatch against orders.
Shift and zone access
Attendance and access to hazardous zones are recorded by badge.

Hardware that fits your site, your process and your budget
Tag'n'Track works with RFID, NFC, QR codes, barcodes, IoT sensors and GPS from all leading manufacturers, so you are never tied to one brand. Every recommendation is based on your requirements, a site survey and your budget.
Typical choices: on-metal tags for tools and machines, heat-resistant tags, reusable tags on bins and carriers, fixed readers at stations, handheld readers and IoT sensors on machines.
Start simple, grow to full automation. Begin with handheld readers in one area, prove the value, then add fixed readers, gates and sensors step by step.
